Eleven laughed, catching the remark as his mare came up next to Regulus. He was having no such trouble, riding smoothly and guiding his horse without apparent effort.

"I should hope not." He smiled over at the man. "But you should relax more; horses know when their riders or handlers are stressed or nervous and can pick that up from them. They can be pretty sensitive to that sort of thing."

Regulus shot Eleven a cross look.

Ya, he got the general idea, one leg on each side. Sit in the saddle.

From there, he didn't know what he was supposed to do with this feet, legs, how to sit in the saddle, what to do with his arms and hands. On a broom, he sat forward, hugging the handle. You only sat upright when you wanted to just... well, sit there in air. But you couldn't sit forward like that now, not with a horse's neck in the way.

And again, what did a person do with the reins?

"Easy for you to say when you know what you're doing," he said.

Eleven gave him a rueful smile. "Yes, I learned when I was young. But I promise it isn't difficult to learn."

He examined Regulus' posture with a hum. "You'll want to keep your back straight and kind of.. hug your horse with your legs. Not tightly- that would tell him to move into a trot. Just.. sort of relax, with your heels back and keep a loose hold on the reigns for now. We're already at pace and don't need to turn yet."
